Having finally learned the location of Green Wind Gorge, Zhou Heng began heading in the right direction.
In truth, over the past few days he had been going completely south while seeking north. Not only had he failed to draw closer to Green Wind Gorge, he had instead gone farther and farther away.
Fortunately, he had only wasted three or four extra days of travel.
Zhou Heng did not dare lower his guard. Along the way, he had to pass through the territories of many powerful demonic beasts. Though they were only Star Kings, they were still not foes he could contend with at present, so he could only detour around them—indeed, if he unleashed the Heaven-Soaring Nine Styles, he might truly be able to slay a Star King-level demonic beast, but it might also drag him down to die alongside it!
And the odds of that were extremely high. A demonic beast's instinct was slaughter; it would never possess a human's carelessness. Even a lion used its full strength to catch a rabbit. Demonic beasts did not have all the chaotic thoughts humans did, and so-called tricks were even less effective against them.
Besides, even if he succeeded with a single sword strike, his Spiritual Power would be completely depleted. What if another Star King-level demonic beast suddenly emerged at that moment?
Unless it was time to risk his life, there was naturally no need to court danger lightly.
Zhou Heng traveled on, stopping and going, circling and winding. Another eight days later, he was only two days away from Green Wind Gorge.
Hopefully, Winter Star Grass grew there. Otherwise, he could only take the risk of hunting Star King-level demonic beasts! No matter what, when he returned this time, he had to break through to the Star Realm!
